I came across this problem while studying for my PE exam:
I'm not sure what "P_r2" is supposed to represent. Obviously 480 psia is not 697.5 times atmospheric pressure.
This is what the table looks like with the "relative pressure" column:
How does "relative pressure" relate to the...
I tried to solve the problem like this.
4-1. m d/dt (v_1) = mg sin(theta) - F
4-2. m d/dt (v_2) = R - mg cos(theta)
If there is no slip, v_1 = v_2 = 0, so
F= mg sin(theta), R= mg cos(theta).
In the rotational motion equation, we intergrate
5-1. I omega^2 = 2dmg ( sin theta_f -...
I am calculating the temperature distribution and utilizing the obtained results to calculate the current distribution. In order to do this , I employ a table in which I stock all the current distribution for each value of radius . Subsequently, I aim to identify the radius corresponding to a...

Hello everyone. First post! I am struggling to understand an issue in our (histology) lab.

I haven't used a log table in a long time and the one I used in High School went from 10 to 99 with four significant figures for the logarithms.
I wondered how did Briggs create a log table 400 years ago? How did he find the logarithm of 7(base 10)?
I looked around the internet and You Tube and...

I did this for some work I'm doing and I thought I'd offer the program in case anyone might want it. (And one little question.)
It's a Clebsch-Gordon table generator for addition of quantum angular momentums. The TikZ coding is fairly basic, but it's probably my best TikZ work so far, not...
hey, I was searching for a steam table for a long time but I wasn't lucky, I don't know why an n-pentane, iso-pentane or even pentane table is hard to find , so I am here today asking for a steam table for n-pentane or pentane table, forgive me if I was asking too much, Thank you very much you all.
This problem is from MIT's module again.
I have a doubt about Newton's Third Law. How is the normal and weight of the book not Newton's 3rd Law pairs?
When the book is placed on the table, I imagine that the book's weight exerts a force on the table and the table exerts and equal and...
In both the cases 7 kg mass accelerates towards the right because of the 50N force. The unbalanced forces in both the cases are the force of gravity due to 5kg block and force of friction. Applying Newton's second law of motion to cases 1 and 2 yields the following results for acceleration...

I don't know how to calculate work done in an adiabatic process because p2 and V2 are not given and I don't know gama(Cp/Cv).

I got 13N but is that right because apparently, it's wrong
Here's my work:
F = mg = 2(10) = 20N
F = ma
a = F/m = 20/4+2 = 20/6 = 10/3 = 3.3m/s^2
T = mg - ma T = (2kg)(10m/s^2) - (2kg)(3.3m/s^2) = 13.4 N
I appreciate it! And if I'm wrong could you show how you got your answer? Thanks
Hi guys, I am not doing homework, it is just suddenly brainstormed this question.

Given a .csv file with the first row a name (string) and successive rows doubles, how can I read and manipulate this data in C++? Typically I just google these sorts of questions, but I'm seeing so many links. Do you have one that you recommend, or do you have a function you've written...

I have tried solving this by splitting the load into two parallel coplaner loads as the Hint below the question suggests but while i was computing the values i realized that, i'll have 4 variables with only 3 equations.

It seems the practice is to enter the table with evaporator air intake wetbulb temp and condenser ambient temp. I'm trying to understand the theory that translates these readings into the proper target superheat.

At the time of release, the equation of motion of blocks A and B T-m_ag = m_aa and T=m_b\omega^2R respectively, where T is the tension in the string. Solving for the acceleration a then gives a=\frac{m_b\omega^2R - m_ag}{m_a}. Not sure what I did wrong or what incorrect assumptions I made...

My take; Let the cat's height = ##c## and the tortoise's height =##t## and the table's height= ##h##,
therefore,
##t+ (170-c)=h##
##c+(130-t)=h##. It then follows that,
##t+ (170-c)=c+(130-t)##
##2t+40=2c##
##c=20+t##,
therefore, on substituting into ##t+ (170-c)=h##...
I'm designing a table and need to know how much overhang I can have. Assuming the table is completely rigid, is symmetric, and has weight W acting on the CG, how much overhang x can I have? For instance, I know that zero overhang could have L = ∞ (if completely rigid) as the load wouldn't be...

In the book, it is stated that if your hand move a distance x, then x/2 is the length of the moving part of the chain because the chain gets “doubled up.” as in the image below.
I don't get the meaning of this. For example, if our hand move L metres from initial position, shouldn't the moving...

and given that ##T_1## is equal to ##F## in the positive direction.
##\alpha = 266.6 \frac{rad}{s^2}##
Then knowing the relationship between angular...

Hello.
How do I add 'x' to 'xy', and the resultant should be <= 1?
x + xy = 1
PEMDAS:
Step 1: Multiply 'x' and 'y' (2nd term in the equation)
Step 2: Add 1st term to 2nd term of the equation
Step 1 plus Step 2 should yield value <=1.
I know that the curve look like this:
'xy' will give me...

Let me imagine a box placed on a table. It has got no acceleration. If I were a person who trusted Newton's laws then I would argue that the net force on the box should be zero. Now in another situation I am an observer outside the Earth and I see that the box is rotating along with the earth...
